A great way to communicate the food security challenge! Now it's your turn twitter - can you write a two-line verse on food security for inclusion in our rap? #FoodSecurity #FridayRap
Just another standard @FoodSecurityUK team meeting. We've written some lyrics for a food security rap. Does anyone know a good rapper who might rap this for us?! @Flora_GFS @MaiaGFS @TamsynGFS @CarrieGFS

So in preparation for yesterday's @FoodSecurityUK team meeting we each wrote a rap verse about #foodsystemchange to the beat of @DizzeeRascal's 'Fix Up Look Sharp'. As a joke. And get this - it's actually amazing. So now need a rapper. Suggestions anyone? #WeNeedTheArts

#bigbotanychallenge @celiaKconsult demonstrates how important plants are to people in the street; dentists, shop assistants, hairdressers. We have to be conscious of what plant science education means to people. Can we inspire more people about plants on our day to day lives? – at Reading, England

First ⚡talk from Frank Mayle of @UniofReading on how to inspire young people to engage with plants by using stories of domestication of Amazonian plants - rubber, chocolate, nuts etc. Having tactile objects more inspirational and makes botany more relevant #bigbotanychallenge
